Repository staff report

Sheriff’s deputies are working to sort out a Sunday night robbery that involved two stolen vehicles.

Stark County Sheriff’s deputies were called to a convenience store at 3690 Cleveland Ave. SW just before 8 p.m.

Employees told deputies that a white male about 6-feet tall, wearing a gray coverall, gray hat and gloves entered the store and demanded money. When the clerk refused the demand, the man reached into the register, grabbed cash and fled.

Deputies were told the man fled in a white Chevrolet Cavalier. There were reports that a red Dodge pickup fled the scene along with the robbery suspect.

Later Sunday night — assisted by Perry Township police — the vehicles were recovered, but both had been set on fire. One was found near the robbery scene in the 3800 block of Diane Avenue SW, while the other was found near Navarre Road and 21st Street SW.
